Beyond †he Darkness (Hellsing)

Rougarou (27)

Angel woke to her phone vibrating in her hip pocket. She let it go to voice mail then looked. It was a number she didn't recognize.

'Best to ignore it' was always the best medicine.

The paranormal investigator sat up to a ringing in her ears. Now it felt like her head was buzzing. Her fingers rubbed her temples. Once more the phone began, to vibrate from another call, from the unknown number.

"What the fuck?" she grumbled. "Is Alucard with the modern times and has a cell phone or something?"

A second voice mail notification popped up and a text message along with it. The message from the same phone number.

All it said was: we need to talk.

Well, how fucking more cryptic can a message get?

Angel sighed then rolled to her feet. There was a missed call from a number she did reconized, Sam. She was supposed to meet him for going into the bayou. Angelica had completely forgotten with the vampire incident. She began to rummage through her equipment for what she would take with her.

" Damn!" she cursed then placed the rest under a floor space and locked it. The jeep was stashed and now her mode of transport was an old Yamaha dirt bike. She checked it for oil and gas then kick started the beast to life. Angel went through the foliage so as not to reveal the bike tracks.

Soon enough Angel was out on a paved road towards a gas station. She had traveled farther than she wanted but Angel didn't want her phone 'pinged' close to the hide out location. The bike was being gassed up as she called Sam.

"Hey Sam, got your message..."

"Wht happened?" he asked with a hint of concern.

"Some questionable visitors last night and I didn't want to endanger civilians," she replied. "I guess the visit is off? I'm sorry, Sam I didn't mean to be rude."

"No, no! If you'r in trouble th'n hidin in the bayou is one the best ways. Do you kno' where Robber's roost is?" Sam asked.

"Yeah you can rent fan boats if I remember right..."

"Ya' bring som' to eat and be on yor way," he then hung the phone up.

The whole time Angelica was on the phone with Sam, a second call was wanting to come through. Angel ignored it and once done with Sam's call, looked at the number....unknown.

Well go figure. That was enough of that!

AB: stop calling and texting me!
I don't know who the fuck you are and I don't fucking care to know!
Piss off mate!

Now a sudden pain hit behind her eyes. Her hands shot up to hold her temples. Angel was still mad at the Vampire for his coldness in last night's Mindlink. She was trying to tell him what her feelings were for him and he didn't want to listen.

How can one lie in a mind link?

'‡fuck off vampire. i realized i actually don't need you. i have been doing this longer than you have been in my life. just stay in fucking england! this link is now severed...'

A trickle of blood came out of her left nostril as a snarl filled her mind. She could feel something dark and powerful hitting her mental shield and that was why the bloody nose. Then the presence, the pressure on her brain, was gone. Alucard was scary to be sure but just that battle of mental blocking, should send a message loud and clear to him.

If he decided, to continue with some of his behaviors, she would damage the sigils and he would be permanently stuck at Hellsing.

Sir Hellsing heard a horrendous vocalization of anger coming from Alucard's quarters. Suddenly his aura flooded through the floor and engulfed the whole manor. Integra was used to his tirades and aura slipping but this through soaking of his aura, sent a cold shiver down her spine. It was a huge reminder why Alucard is the king of vampires and the sigils are on him for a reason. Sir Integra can feel him pulling on the symbols that bind him to her.
